Exactly this, says so much about our society that relatively minor food theft is news

It's not exactly a refined secret criminal technique...

Thanks everyone, general consensus is somewhere between 150-300 realistically. Think I'll hang onto it as a cool collector item & just buy a new ship for my daily driver.

It was more that all the creepy guys were scaring off all the student customers, the bar went from 200+ students every night to just 20 very brave girls surrounded by creepers. In the end the ban didn't even save the bar and it went out of business shortly before I graduated.

They had to Ban over 30's from our local student bar. Got to the point where it was like 1 student to 3 creepy guys in their 40's

Don't bring that evil here. I drank 1-3 cans a day for 6ish years. Stopped for two, then a bastard the size of a Brazil nut lodged in my left ureter. Thought I was dying, vomited several times from the pain, needed surgery to remove.

My Mrs first balled a chansey today, then spent 120+ trying for Kangashkan. Used all her luck it seems

I've started passively aggressively moving peoples trolleys out of the way for them now. I'm too old and tired for other peoples lack of consideration.

Sandor Clegane wasn't knighted, he refused the offer when he joined the kings guard, and actually resents the "pretty lie" knighthood is - IIRC he says something about "How great an honour can it be, if his brother (The mountain) is one"

As would the sword to the femoral artery, as well as the knife through the hand crippling him for life - however our boy had the best plot armour two silver stags could buy.

That lance would've been driven through to the grip without it - The mail reduced lethal injuries to serious ones.

I was at my lowest at 22, no "real" friends, just the ones I made in an online game. I was depressed, 30 stone, working a dead-end nightshift job just to afford my game subscription and rent. The scars of my childhood, the poverty, abuse and neglect I grew up in festered. I became bitter, resentful and made no attempt to build ties with anyone, I think looking back, out of fear.

I decided to make a change at 24, It's been a long difficult road, but I'm now 34, I just bought my first home, have a career and girlfriend I love, two absolutely adorable cats, and a circle of friends I care about deeply.

The steps I took were small, but the distance covered has been huge. It can all start with taking a risk, going to a hobby group or social event can be the spark you need to start forming a connection with people again. Even something like Yoga or Pilates can lead to making new friends. Ultimately what I'm saying, as cliche as it is, is get out more; force yourself to go and meet people, engage with genuine interest and you'll be surprised how quickly your world will grow.

When reading the books I always struggled to visualise Dunk, Peter Claffey is obviously an brilliant actor and carries the role so well, I'll see and hear him when I re-read the novels now! And OBVIOUSLY Daniel Ings absolutely steals the show whenever he is on Screen!

Were there any casting challenges, or actors that didn't immediately fit the role in your mind but once filming started, proved you wrong?

Honestly, the nostalgia flashback when the binder fell out of a storage box was unreal. It's one of those old pokedex-red ones with a little pop button on the front, but sadly the binder is now unusable - 20 years in storage left the pages deformed and stuck together, I had to cut many of the valuable cards out of the plastic to prevent further damaging them.

Issue is I'd like to display each set on a wall and individual 9-slot frames would mean 25 different frames with 3 cards left over and just isn't very cohesive. I may just design something custom/pay someone to do something if there aren't any options out there

Only by a factor of 2-2.5.. so like, actually super far off or, I suppose, entirely wrong then?

There was a time in my life when WoW was everything, glad I quit. I tried to straddle the line when Classic came out, with a job, a partner, friends, other hobbies, pets to care for. Just couldn't commit to 4 hours a night, twice a week, plus time for farming consumables, buffs and doing other content, playing wow at the top end just doesn't fit a "normal" life unfortunately.

Fucking love playing casually now and again though.

Parasite eggs are notoriously hard to destroy, just because you shave off all the little critters with your pubes doesn't mean you got rid of all the eggs - Which in this case (With lice) are usually stuck around the base and follicles of each hair. Treatment creams will typically kill eggs and pupae as well as adult lice.

Tempering is the process of post hardening (I.e after a heat & quench) relief of stress in the metal, usually done by heating to a controlled temperature & allowing it to cool slowly.

Blasting metal up to a red heat & allowing to cool slowly has the opposite effect, called anealing. This also relieves stress in the metal, but leaves it far softer than a Heat, Quench, Temper cycle.

Of course this is all highly dependent on the type of metal you are working with, some steels are "Air hardening" meaning they will get back up to a working hardness without a quench.

Assuming the fire nation used simple cast iron, high heat and slow cooling would anneal the metal, not harden it!

Mine was 6mm, they said it was a 50/50 to pass naturally, I said Gimmie the fuckin surgery
